Haryana’s Paperless Registration System Gets Major Upgrades After Comprehensive Review

Applications more than double as state fast-tracks digital property registration with shorter approval times, enhanced data security, and tehsil-level help desks

Chandigarh, November 13 – Haryana’s ambitious paperless registration system is set to become faster and more user-friendly following a comprehensive review conducted by Financial Commissioner Revenue and Disaster Management, Dr. Sumita Misra, who chaired a detailed video conference with all Deputy Commissioners today.

Dr. Misra announced a series of major reforms to enhance efficiency and citizen convenience. The existing five-day revert time on applications will soon be shortened to expedite approvals and ensure faster service delivery. In a significant move to protect citizens from data loss, all filled documents will now be automatically saved for 72 hours before deletion, while registration fees will remain applicable throughout the process until completion.

“This is the biggest systemic change in Haryana’s revenue administration,” Dr. Misra declared, warning that any officer found obstructing or spreading misinformation against the reform would face immediate disciplinary action.

Help Desks and State Helpline to Aid Citizens

To assist citizens navigating the new system, Dr. Misra directed the establishment of dedicated help desks at every tehsil, with appointed nodal officers whose contact details must be made publicly available. A state-level helpline number will also be launched immediately to provide real-time support for technical or procedural issues.

Dr. Misra emphasized the need for comprehensive public outreach through print, electronic, and social media channels to educate citizens about the system’s benefits and counter rumours. She expressed concern over false claims circulating that the system had been shut down for ten days or that stamps purchased after November 1 would be invalid.

“These are baseless attempts to create confusion among citizens and deed writers,” she said, warning of strict action against those deliberately spreading misinformation.

Applications More Than Double

Performance data from November 1-12, 2025, shows remarkable growth in adoption. The state received 5,334 applications, with 2,110 deeds approved—more than double the 1,662 applications and 1,074 approvals recorded during the previous review period from September 29 to October 31, 2025.

Kurukshetra led among districts with 810 applications and 524 approvals, followed by Mahendragarh (428 applications, 205 approvals), Karnal (409 applications, 208 approvals), and Jind (384 applications, 131 approvals). Districts including Faridabad, Gurugram, and Yamunanagar also reported steady growth.

Dr. Misra noted that only seven of the twelve review days were effective working days, as five were consumed by document approval processes, and observed that the system is now stabilizing across all tehsils.

System Enhancements Based on Field Feedback

Responding to issues flagged by Deputy Commissioners, the technical team has implemented real-time improvements. The document upload limit has been enhanced from 10 MB to 50 MB to accommodate complex transactions. For government conveyance deeds, only the department name is now required, eliminating the need for PAN or Aadhaar details.

Other enhancements include removal of mandatory Khasra or Killa entries for HSVP, HSIIDC, HSAMB, and Housing Board properties; automatic attendance capture in General Power of Attorney (GPA) cases; support for multiple parties in single transactions; and automatic appearance of NOC numbers on deeds. Terms and conditions can now extend up to 10,000 words, and a Block Khasra Page has been introduced for officers’ convenience.

The system now dynamically defines the “first party” based on deed type—identifying the vendee as the first party in sale deeds and the principal in GPA cases. In urban local body areas with a single owner, ownership share is automatically treated as one-to-one.

Training and Infrastructure Focus

Dr. Misra directed all Deputy Commissioners to ensure seamless internet connectivity at tehsil offices and address server-related issues promptly. She emphasized that no technical or administrative bottleneck should delay this transformative reform.

Regular hands-on training sessions must be conducted for tehsil staff, Sub-Registrars, and deed writers to ensure every stakeholder is fully familiar with the new system, she instructed.

Acknowledging that resistance to change is natural during major transitions—as witnessed during the introduction of appointment-based registries and the Web-HARIS platform—Dr. Misra reiterated that the paperless registration reform is irreversible and represents a decisive step toward transparency and accountability.

“Haryana’s paperless registration initiative marks a major milestone in transparency, accountability, and citizen-centric governance,” she said. “This reform is transforming how property transactions are conducted, making Haryana a model for digital governance and administrative innovation for the rest of the country.”

Dr. Misra expressed confidence that by the end of November 2025, the paperless registration system would be fully stabilized, commending the proactive approach of district administrations and technical support teams in addressing on-ground challenges while maintaining continuous coordination.
